Rap Lyrics Can Put You in Jail & the NRA Is Bankrupt: Week in Review | The Amber Ruffin Show

[@engraverarnold9416]

That NRA narration felt so real it was scary.

@Charles Lucis I guess that depends on what you mean by free speech.

That bigfoot hunting bill would have me worried if I was anywhere near Oklahoma. Sounds like a bunch of hunting "accidents" waiting to happen.

[@CarraIsNerdy]

I am watching this on my first night in OKLAHOMA. I am intrigued and confused...simultaneously.

[@hamvjones]

“Well... he was tall and kinda striding along in the forest so.. yeah I shot him “

[@Sndyj457]

Yep. Lots of “I thought dat waz bigfoot”

Well, I think it's more to keep people from trying to hunt bigfoot out of season... So...

That NRA bit was brilliant reminded me of a top snl sketch

[@nathanielhellerstein5871]

The NRA bankruptcy will let them disincorporate in New York but reincorporate in Texas. So it's like a Star Trek transporter beam. The main advantage of a transporter beam is that it makes Captain Kirk disappear. Its main disadvantage is that it makes Captain Kirk reappear somewhere else.

[@Newfiecat]

Excellent analogy 😂

[@MrClarissacain]

Oklahoma resident here. I'm just so embarrassed. And scared. But mostly embarrassed. Fun fact, Wagoner, OK was named after railroad dispatcher Henry "Big Foot" Wagoner, for his contribution of getting a railroad switch installed. *I* ask for something to make my job easier, i just get told "no, stuffing coworkers in the closet is unlawful detainment", i sure don't get a town and a COUNTY named after me.
